"Go to Taiwan..." Huang Chen's pupils shrank sharply inward, and he drank tea to hide his shock. This sudden change completely shattered his plan. As soon as Wang Fengwu died, he became a thorn in Zhou Lao's side, and sooner or later, the latter Huang Chen was not willing to sit back and wait for death if they would attack him. He and Hu Yin only had twenty warships, and the sea battle was by no means Zhou Zhou's old enemy, so he decided to find another way and planned a land battle to get rid of Zhou Lao. Currently, he has eight or nine hundred athletes under his command, and plans to fight in the near future. Raise another two to three hundred, allocate good weapons, and practice rigorously. As long as he is given a year and a half, he will be fully confident in overturning the old village of Wednesday on land.
"That's right, go to Taiwan." The smile on Ye Fu's face became brighter and brighter, and he thought to himself: "Are you scared this time? It's too late!"
"Why are you going to Taiwan? What are you talking about?" Hu Yin walked in the door wearing a raincoat with a look of surprise on his face.
"Master Hu is here at the right time." Ye Fu told Hu Yin the purpose of his visit again, and finally said: "This gathering of heroes on the sea is a rare event that only happens once in a century. It would be a pity to miss it."
"..." Hu Yin couldn't help but shudder. Zhou Lao's move completely forced them into a dead end. They would die sooner if they didn't go.
Huang Chen asked calmly: "Mr. Ye, how many ships are the chief planning to bring to the appointment?"
"The big leader has not made a decision yet, but -" Ye Fu smiled and prolonged his voice deliberately, "the big leader specially asked me to tell the Huang family and the Hu family that you two must bring at least fifteen large ships to accompany you. Remember, it is a big boat, don't bring some small boats to make up the number. It would be better if you are willing to bring all twenty big boats, the more the merrier." To Ye Fu's disappointment, Huang Chen did not turn pale after hearing this. The reaction was slightly cold. After nodding, Ye Fu said in his heart: "It is really rare to have such a city at such a young age. If you are given some time to grow up, you might really become a big trouble. It's a pity..."
"Date." Huang Chen asked again.
Ye Fu smiled and replied: "Around the end of the month, I will notify Mr. Huang and Mr. Hu of the specific date."
Huang Chen nodded and said: "I understand. When Mr. Ye returns, he will tell the chief that I will lead the ship to rendezvous as scheduled." After saying that, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Fu. He had no intention of arguing with Ye Fuxu anymore and got off directly. Expulsing guests and driving people away.
Ye Fu's smile suddenly froze, he stared at Huang Chen, snorted for a while, and walked away with a roll of his sleeves.
Huang Chen slowly sat back in his seat, put his forehead on his hands, and thought quietly. During this period, Hu Yin hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, are we really going to Taiwan with Mr. Zhou?"
Huang Chen looked at Hu Yin, shook his head and said, "It's not us, it's me."
Hu Yin was shocked. He stood up and said: "Second brother, how can I do this? I absolutely cannot do it..."
Huang Chen raised his hand to stop Hu Yin and said: "There are only two leaders left in the village, you and me. We are all gone. What will happen to the village? Therefore, one person must be left to take charge of the overall situation."
Hu Yin said anxiously: "Second brother, you stay here while I go. I grew up in Taiwan and am most familiar with it."
Huang Chen shook his head again and said: "Lao Zhou has stipulated that we send out at least fifteen large ships. Unless I underestimate my third brother, you will not be able to control it for the time being. Moreover, Lao Zhou is cunning and full of tricks. I'm afraid you will be eaten by him before we reach Taiwan. There are not even any bones left.”
Hu Yin clenched his fists tightly, Huang Chen patted his shoulder and said: "I can't say that I can definitely get rid of Mr. Zhou, but I am still somewhat sure of saving my life. Don't worry about me."
Hu Yin's face was distorted, and he said bitterly: "Eldest brother died to protect me, and second brother you took risks to protect me. I can't do anything! I am really a useless waste!"
"Third brother, there is no need to blame yourself for this." Huang Chen didn't feel that he was as great and selfless as Wang Fengwu. It was just forced by the situation. The hand on Hu Yin's shoulder gently pressed it and said: "I will try my best to drag Mr. Zhou down.
Fujian, you stay in Dachen Mountain and develop with peace of mind. When you and I meet again, I hope you will surpass my achievements today and become one of the top maritime heroes in Dachen Mountain."….
Hu Yin knows in his heart that this will not be easy, but he will firmly work towards this goal, whether it is for Huang Chen or for himself.
Huang Chen added: "My grandmother, mute sister, adoptive mother, sister-in-law, and nephew will be left to your care."
Hu Yin nodded vigorously and said, "Second brother, just don't worry."
Next, the two discussed the issue of ships. Huang Chen had a total of fourteen large ships, but one was still missing. Hu Yin proposed to give up his ten-foot-long ship to enhance Huang Chen's strength. Huang Chen refused without hesitation.
However, a ten-foot-long ship would only improve his strength to a limited extent, not to mention that the rear might not be safe and sound. In contrast, Hu Yin needed it more, so he only chose a seven-foot-long bird ship.
After seeing off Hu Yin, Huang Chen thought about things quietly for a while, then strolled towards Zhang's bedroom. When he walked to the corner, he suddenly saw the mute girl squatting in the corner, sobbing silently. He was startled and hurriedly helped her.
He stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Did you fall? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
The mute girl stared at him with misty deer eyes, a look of panic on her face.
Huang Chen was startled for a moment, then realized and said, "Have you heard everything?"
The mute girl nodded repeatedly and mustered up the courage to hold on to the corner of his clothes.
Huang Chen's heart softened, and his hand gently slid across the mute girl's delicate cheek, wiping away the tears that were pouring out of her, and whispered: "Does grandma know?"
The mute girl shook her head, quickly made sleeping movements, and then continued to tug at the corner of his clothes.
Huang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't know how to tell Mrs. Zhang that he was about to go on a long journey. It could be a year and a half or a lifetime. He said to the mute girl:
"Don't tell grandma about this for now. I'll tell her myself."
The mute girl cried even harder, clasping her hands together and shaking her hands, "Don't go..."
"I don't want to leave either, but the problem is..." Huang Chen replied subconsciously, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, he stared at the mute girl dumbfounded, "You, you can speak!"
"Don't go, don't go..." the mute girl cried and begged.
Huang Chen said happily: "You can speak now, that's great!"
"do not go……"
The mute girl was extremely stubborn and kept telling her not to leave. Huang Chen asked for a long time but couldn't get anything out of her. Finally, he was so anxious that he blocked the mute girl's mouth and said, "Answer me first."
The mute girl blinked her eyes filled with tears. As soon as Huang Chen let go of his hand, she begged again. Huang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, so he coaxed her into saying she wouldn't leave, which gradually calmed down her excitement. However, without waiting for him to ask, the various ship owners under his command
As they rushed home one after another, Huang Chen had no choice but to leave the mute girl behind for the time being and return to the front hall.
There is no airtight wall in the world. When Huang Chen saw the different expressions of everyone, he immediately understood and said: "Sit down. You have heard the news. Yes, I am going to Taiwan. I will take care of the danger this time.
I won’t say much more, I will survive a narrow escape! Those who are willing to follow me will leave, and those who are unwilling to stay will stay.”
Ruan Jin showed no fear and laughed and said: "I am a Fujianese and I am familiar with the customs. I will definitely follow you."
Chen Si, Chen Wu and others also expressed their willingness to follow, but only a few people remained silent and appeared to be worried, including Zhao Hongyi.
Huang Chen said to Zhao Hongyi: "Brother Zhao, the village needs someone to assist Hu Yin. You can choose to stay."
Zhao Hongyi met Huang Chen's gaze and suddenly remembered a conversation between the two in August last year. Huang Chen confided in him at that time, talked about his ambitions, and bluntly said that he lacked courage. If he could not make changes, his status would soon rise.
He will be replaced by others. In the past few months, Zhao Hongyi has been working hard to improve his character flaws. The effect is not great, but he has made some progress. Now the time has come to test his courage. Should he stay or follow? Zhao Hongyi
Almost gritting his teeth, he said slowly for a long time: "Big Chief, I am willing to go to Taiwan."
Huang Chen said with a half-smile, "It's very possible that he will die."
Zhao Hongyi said categorically: "Even if you die, you will have no regrets."
